Loading Multi-Part Forms; Loading Continuous Paper With Labels - Epson FX-1180 User Manual

Loading Multi-Part Forms

You can use carbonless multi-part forms of up to six parts (five
copies on top of the original). Make sure you set the paper
thickness lever to the proper position based on the number of
layers in your form.
Except for setting the paper thickness lever, you load multi-part
forms the same way as ordinary paper. For details, see the
sections on loading continuous paper later in this chapter.
Note:
o
Be sure your multi-part forms do not exceed 0.46 mm
(0.018 inch) in thickness.
o
Do not load paper that is curled or has been folded.
o
Thick paper, such as multi-part forms with five or six parts,
requires a straight paper path to avoid paper jams. Load thick
paper in the front or bottom slots.

Loading Continuous Paper With Labels

When printing on labels, use only the type of labels that are
mounted on continuous backing sheets with sprocket holes for
use with a tractor feeder. Do not try to print on single sheets
with labels because the printer may not feed labels on a shiny
backing sheet properly.
Thick paper, such as continuous paper with labels, requires a
straight or almost straight paper path. You can load labels in
the front (push tractor or pull tractor) or bottom (pull tractor)
paper slot; however, for best results, use the tractor in the pull
position, and load paper in the front or bottom paper slot.
